EN 4130 Since Jesus Freely Did Appear
John.2.1
Versi Version 1
1
Since Jesus freely did appear
To grace a marriage feast
O Lord, we ask Thy presence here,
To make a wedding Guest.
2
Upon the bridal pair look down,
Who now have plighted hands;
Their union with Thy favor crown,
And bless the nuptial bands.
3
With gifts of grace their hearts endow,
Of all rich dowries blest;
Their substance bless, and peace bestow,
To sweeten all the rest.
4
In purest love their souls unite,
That they with Christian care,
May make domestic burdens light,
By taking mutual share.
5
As Isaac and Rebecca give
A pattern chaste and kind;
So may this new-met couple live
In faithful friendship joined.
